BASI VIBE’s Long-Awaited EP “ijuswanaluv” Droped November 15th!

In a time when much of the music landscape feels saturated with repetition, there are still artists who dare to offer something unique and authentic. Enter BASI VIBE, an artist whose music is a refreshing departure from the monotony that often plagues the R&B scene. On November 15th, BASI VIBE released his highly anticipated EP ijuswanaluv. This is a project that has been a decade in the making.

The Journey of Basi Vibe!

BASI’s journey to this point has been anything but ordinary. He revealed that he started writing ijuswanaluv ten years ago, with no idea that the process would stretch so long. “It’s been an annoying 10 years since I wrote it,” he said, reflecting on the years of revisions, recording sessions, and exploration. “But all the iterations and recording sessions—trying it this way and that—giving it room to breathe, to find its final voice… 10 annoying but necessary years.” The result? An EP that feels both timeless and perfectly in tune with today’s R&B landscape, yet stands apart with its emotional depth and soulful complexity.

The project kicks off with the single GOOD LAWD, released on October 18th under 5A Label. It sets the tone for what’s to come. In GOOD LAWD, BASI captures the magnetic allure of a person whose presence is so captivating that it leaves you breathless. It’s an exploration of the kind of beauty that can stop you in your tracks and make you whisper, “Good lawd!”—a sentiment many of us can relate to when encountering someone whose energy fills the room.
